MAD MEN: "Vostok" - PAGE 27

INT. STERLING COOPER AD AGENCY - DAY

Paul (shaking out a smoke), KEN COSGROVE and HARRY CRANE are not-very-discreetly ogling Joan as she walks to meet up with Hildy, Allison and Marge on the other side of the room. Salvatore notices this as he walks up to join the guys, taking out his lighter for Paul.

SALVATORE

Those heels. Like she’s walking on two Chrysler buildings.

Salvatore holds out his lit Zippo. Paul lights his cigarette from it. Joan confers with the girls.

KEN

I’m not sure I understand that.

PAUL

I have this theory about redheads.

SALVATORE

I think we all have a theory about redheads, right?

KEN

I’ve tested that theory.

SALVATORE

If you mean Tammy from traffic services, I seem to remember her being a blonde before last Easter.

PAUL

Yeah. She’s not a blonde either.

Gets questioning look from Ken.

HARRY

What’s your theory?

PAUL

It’s a stop sign from God. He’s saying “this one is out of your league, move along.”

KEN

If that were true, there wouldn’t be any redheads.

PAUL

There’s always the guy that can run the red, no pun, and never gets a ticket. Right, Sal?
